Notes

ALBINONI –CONCERTOS from Op.10

The Op.10 concertos were discovered only as late as 1961 and are little known; certainly there are no published editions of these pieces. The dedicatee was the Marquis of Castelar, Don Luca Fernando Patino who had come to Italy from Spain as a military commander. As a result the Op.10 Concertos are highly individual but very beautiful. In the first movement of Concerto 11, there is a vivid evocation of flamenco style with all it’s fierce percussiveness. Simon Standage directs members of Collegium Musicum 90 in a continuation of the Albinoni cycle which kicked off with the Oboe Concertos in 1995.

American Record Guide commented on a previous volume “The concertos are beautifully played here, with plenty of energy. This is the obvious choice for period-instrument fans who want them. The sound is very good, both crisp and warm.”

In this latest recording of works by Albinoni, Simon Standage directs Collegium Musicum 90 showcasing the rarely performed and recorded Op. 10 Concertos. As late as 1961, academics were unaware of Albinoni’s last set of concertos. All this changed when two small private collections were found to contain the print. Since then, the existence of Op.10 has been known to scholars, but awareness of it and curiosity about it has not really penetrated. Most of the Op.10 concertos have not been published in a modern edition, and the set has been recorded only twice before.

The dedicatee of Op. 10 was the Marquis of Castelar, Don Luca Fernando Patiño, who had come to Italy from Spain as a military commander. As a result, the Op.10 concertos are highly individual. If one looks at the melodic lines in isolation, they look full modern for the 1730s, but if one looks at the bass line they go right back to the time of Albinoni’s Op.2 and Op.5. Albinoni alludes to the dedicatee in the music itself: the first movement of Concerto 11 is a vivid evocation of flamenco style, with all its fierce percussiveness. Note writer Michael Talbot describes the concertos as ‘undoubtedly ‘odd’ in the fact that they are wildly different from what one expects from any composer working in the 1730s, but they are also beautiful in a way absolutely peculiar to their composer and in a way a logical conclusion of his art.’

Simon Standage performs regularly with Collegium Musicum 90 and other groups and is a very well respected performer in the early-music field.”
